Entries in Form 1 "Enumeration form ? List of residents" are to be made irrespective of the registration of domicile or its character (permanent or temporary) or the entitlement to living floor space in this or other dwelling (for instance, when a person is registered at one address, but actually lives at another, he/she is to be counted at the place of his/her actual residence).

Form 1 "Enumeration form - List of residents" is to be completed for all residential and non-residential premises in which people live. The list is to be made for:

If the List is made in an institution, the name of the institution is to be indicated in its address part under the line "Institution", e.g.: Boarding school No 3, Children's home, Hotel, etc. Though if a person permanently lives in a room at such an institution (e.g. a doctor lives together with his wife and children in a room located in the building of a children's home), where he also works, the name of the institution is not to be recorded. The doctor's household in this case is to be recorded separately from the children who are permanent residents in the institution. He is to be separately enumerated on Form 1 and Form 3, and for his household members Forms 2 are to be made.

If the number of those living in a given dwelling exceeds 14 people, two or more Forms 1 "Enumerator form - List of residents" are to be made under the same No. In this case the letter "a" is to be put down on the first list and the letter "b" on the second one, etc. (for example, 15?, 15b, and 15c).

[Text omitted, example of how the form should look like if there are more than 1 households in the dwelling]

Persons who are temporary residents in this dwelling are not to be included in the households (irrespective of the relation degree) and should be enumerated as separate households (e.g. the student son Tikhonov Alexander Anatolievich, who permanently lives at the place of his training, was at the census moment with his parents. In this case he is not to be included in the household and is to be counted as a separate household: in column 1 of the List of residents he is given number 7 and in column 2 ? number 4).

Question 9. Floor space

To answer this question the enumerator is to record in special boxes the size of useful and living floor space occupied by the household, including that used for other purposes, in square metres (in integer numbers without decimal digits).
In rounding a fractional floor space to the nearest integer the following rules are to be observed: if after the decimal sign follow five or more tenths, then one is to be added to the integer part; if less than five tenths, then the fractional part is to be discarded (e.g., numbers 23.50 and 23.51 are to be rounded to 24, but 23.49 to 23).

Useful floor space is to be recorded in integer numbers of square meters for each detached house, separate or shared (communal) flat or a room or flat in a hostel. It is determined as the sum of floor spaces of all habitable rooms (including spaces of attics, verandahs, terraces, which are heated and appropriate for habitation the year round) and back rooms (kitchens, halls, anterooms, indoor corridors, bath (shower) rooms, toilets, pantries or built-in closets).

Useful floor space accounted for residents in hostels is measured as the sum of living space occupied by a household and its share in the back rooms space of the hostel.

E.g., the floor space of backrooms in a hostel is 500 sq. m. and the number of beds is 100. In this case, the share of the backroom space per one person is 5 sq. m.
Useful floor space (m2) does not include:
